We get local Indianapolis home sellers calling us or submitting their house info on this website <\/a>every week saying “I’m relocating and need to sell my house in Indianapolis<\/strong><\/em>“. \u00a0The great thing is that we’re able to help a good many of those sellers sell their house quickly (because we’re actively buying houses in Indianapolis IN right now!).\n\nThere\u2019s an insane amount of details to keep together, plus the stress of whatever is making you move in the first place \u2013 often it\u2019s a new job or a sick relative, but the true need to move always comes with a dramatic change.\n\nSo how do you make the most out of a difficult situation?<\/strong>\n

Don\u2019t Agonize \u2013 Organize.<\/h2>\nYou don\u2019t want to be in a situation where you end up paying to own and maintain a vacant house for 2 years. That gets expensive and it doesn’t have to be that way.\n\nAlthough the market is relatively stable right now in Indianapolis, things can change in the blink of an eye. We\u2019ve heard some serious horror stories over the past couple of decades. Unless you\u2019re filthy rich, you probably can\u2019t afford to wait it out.\n\nSo how do you make the right choices when you’re relocating and need to sell your Indianapolis IN house fast<\/a>?\n

Relocating And Need To Sell My\u00a0House Fast In Indianapolis… Your Options And Steps<\/h2>\nFirst…\n
    \n\t
  1. Find out what your house is worth: <\/strong>To do this you can contact a reputable real estate agent or connect with us and we can give you a no cost no obligation valuation on your property. \u00a0Once you know what the house may be able to sell for in the current market… that sets the basis for how long you may or may not be able \/ willing to sell the house.<\/li>\n\t
  2. Decide how fast you need to sell your house after you relocate:<\/strong> This is a biggie. I’ve seen professionals who moved out of state for a job who had their house on the market for over a year before selling it for a much much lower price than they hoped. Decide how fast you need to sell your house… and how long you’re willing to keep making 2 mortgage payments, insurance payments, etc.<\/li>\n\t
  3. Find a solid real estate agent BEFORE you start packing boxes:<\/strong> Get the ball rolling early so you don’t waste any time. Every month that you wait or every month that it takes to sell the house… costs you money. \u00a0Or if you don’t want to use a real estate agent to sell… we are a reputable local house buyer and we’d love to make you a fast-fair all cash offer. Just fill out the form through this link to get started >><\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n\t
  4. Calculate the value of selling your house fast vs. “waiting it out” for a dream price:<\/strong> We all want to sell our houses for as much as possible. But one thing many people forget to do is come up with the $ amount of how much it costs you to hold onto this house. \u00a0The costs involved include the mortgage (which if you’re still within the first 10 years of the mortgage, the majority of your payment interest and not hardly going to principal at all), insurance, taxes, maintenance, etc.Lets say you want to sell your house for $200,000… and your mortgage payment is $1,200\/mo, taxes $200\/mo, $100\/mo for insurance, and $100\/mo for maintenance (lawn maintenance, repairs while you’re gone, etc.).Those expenses add up to $1,600\/mo<\/span><\/em> in “non equity building” expenses.If it takes you 7 months to sell that house through a real estate agent for that $200,000… it cost you $11,200 in DIRECT “holding costs”<\/span><\/em> + you had to pay $12,000 in real estate agent fees<\/em><\/span> (assuming 3% for the buyers agent and 3% for the sellers agent).Totaling $23,200 in LOST money. \u00a0That doesn’t even account for the value of your time, your stress in thinking about that property sitting on the market, the opportunity cost of what you could have been doing with that extra money during those 7 months, etc. So the real cost to you was likely closer to $30,000.But, what if you were to sell your house next week and avoid all of that?Even if you sold for a discount below the retail price (lets say… $175,000)… you’re still ahead of the game by selling the house NOW<\/a> at a discount to a home buyer like our company vs. 7 months later at full price (and paying holding costs and real estate agent fees).Make sense?<\/li>\n\t
  5. Take action!:<\/strong> Whatever you decide… decide and take action. \u00a0If you want to go the real estate agent route, great! Find a reputable local Indianapolis IN agent. \u00a0If you’d rather not have to wait and not have to pay real estate agent commissions… then a viable option may be to sell your house to us \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nIf you’ve got a lot of time on your side and a really great property, you might want\u00a0to test the market by offering it out at a high price. There\u2019s a small chance someone\u00a0might just fall in love and be willing to overpay \u2013 people do crazy things for love.\n\nMost properties are pretty average, in reality. They tend to be like the other houses\u00a0around them, in the same way that people who live near each other tend to have\u00a0a lot in common too. So unless your property is truly exceptional, as in magazine-quality extra-special, you won\u2019t capture the most money in the market by pricing at\u00a0the highest point.\n\nYou can also win by marketing your property for rent and sale at the same time, just\u00a0to see what happens first. You have to maintain control of the process, which can\u00a0confuse even seasoned real estate brokers.\n\nIn certain situations, we may partner with property owners to help secure lease\u00a0option agreements where highly qualified purchasers rent the property for an\u00a0agreed time before buying.\n\nIn other cases, we may help renegotiate a loan, help make monthly payments or\u00a0conduct a short sale with a bank.\n\nWe love helping people solve complicated problems.\n\nCreative solutions can bridge the gap to get you where you need to be.\n
